We continue the summary of pertinent developments from the 2013 Nevada legislature.
Senate Bill 165, which Nicolas Cage testified in support of during committee hearings, provides for certain tax credits for the production of films in Nevada.
Senate Bill 374 established procedures relating to dispensaries of medical marijuana. Following SB 374′s passage, the Nevada Division of Public and Behavior Health issued a small business impact statement discussing the law’s impact on businesses, concluding that the law “should not impose a direct or significant economic burden upon a small business or directly restrict the formation, operation or expansion of a small business in Nevada.”

In the third part of the series, we will discuss bills that failed to become law during the 2013 legislative session.
